one stop mini-split shop is one. I used Soleus inverter Type But shop around for deals and call for free shipping on two or free line sets. good time of year to deal. Ebay is good source just compare apples top apples 410 refrigerant is a must to get high performance with low amp use. Just my experience fasten all lines secure and you should be good to go. Mine are not road tested. My friends are for over 5 years and doing fine. Bob

The inverter changes the AC current to DC current so instead of hard starts and only one speed the compressor runs on DC and just ramps up the speed as necessary to supply the cooling or heating called for from the remote unit.

Just the way it was explained to me.

If it won't go FORCE it ---- if it breaks it needed to be replaced anywayAlbuquerque, NM MC8 L10 Cummins ZF

As my heating buddy put it. There are all the same crap inside so save your money and buy a unit that you can get locally at a good price and when it craps out in 4-5 years the new replacement one will be even cheaper then the first.Thanks china for all the low prices . just add a soft start capacitor ( about 20 bucks ) dave

In Evansville Ind for the same model # from over internet. The wholesale supplier wants twice the money..I believe in buy local! But at twice the $ takes the zing out of it. Bob I have a 24000 Inverter style Klimaire in home now. 2600sq ft plus basement Midwest over 100 for several weeks. My elect bill is 55% of what it was last year over same 5 month period and replaced a 5ton and a 3 ton heat pump. At 108 degree it got to 78 in our home. I am thinking of adding another 12000 next year.(maybe) The reason I used in home is because of how well they worked in coach. Again I'm on a long term build so have not been road tested.On the other side I have a friend that has been running his for over 5 years.(two) I have three installed and very seldom run more that one sitting still except for initial cool down or warm up. range from single digets to 100F Bob

I was at Sigler a Carrier distributor they had a mini split American made with the Copeland compressor wholesale price on the 12,000 btu was 2800 bucks twice the price of a China made unit

I have no idea if there is any truth in what I was told but the heavier in weight in a AC unit the better the unit,I did fall for it though and bought 3 six ton roof mounts for the restaurant the Carriers were about 30 lbs heavier than a Goodman the same size

Yeah, if "soft start" is the big thing for a $1700 unit versus a $900 version, I'd like to know that, too.

BTW, super woodwork in your bus, JJ. And is there info on your webpage about your leveling system? Do you use the suspension airbags or separate air jacks? And what air conditioner do you have installed now?
